@XxdartvaderxX Hey bruttha how is that new AXE by buckethead always love that sound....Like the Tele for country .. the Strat for the SRV style..have a lespaul 1960 but that Buckethead model must be a KILLA..right..
They're all gone :( not a single one of these are left, they have all been sold. Now there is just the studio version of this which is cheaper, but the only difference is the fingerboard (torrefied maple instead of ebony), the nut width, the pain job (It's just plain white and satin instead of gloss), and I think the pickup selector is a different color.
@lilticlez No, most gibson's don't have 24 frets, some do. All of the gibsons I've ever played had 22 frets. I am looking to get a flying v with 24, tho.
i want one.....only problem is its over expencive and while this outclasses the guitar im about to mension, u can get a guitar for about £150ish if u want a kill switch, that guitar being the epiphone les paul special II.....however to get one of these would be awsome!!!!
@figger48 dude just cuz you did research and found out were pebber brown tought buckethead (styles) doesnt mean shit...this is youtube anybody can find that shit out...it takes an even bigger idiot to comment saying to look up buckethead on wikipedia so we can think your cool..get over yourself
@skatinsince97 HEY go fuck yourself dude, dont get mad dude I know where I live and know the people that hes worked with. YOU need to get over YOURself AND stop pretending you know what happened you fucking idiot your NOT a all knowing dimwit and I NEVER planned for people to think I was cool for stating a fact. GOOD day to you sir. dont even replying after you read this message lets not waste our time here.
@MetalMonsterGuitar no, really man its true, i went to a guitar shop that had Buckethead do guitar lessons there b4 he became famous. he was an awesome teacher :)
@MetalMonsterGuitar Check figger48's YouTube page and find that he lives in Claremont, and upon a wiki search of Buckethead you find that he also lived in Claremont
@MetalMonsterGuitar Buckethead is from Claremont, CA; the poster who mentioned about the lessons and the city is also from Claremont, CA; I recall seeing early interviews and articles where it was mentioned that Buckethead gave lessons in Claremont. You, my doubting friend, are mistaken.
@TaxideaTaxis well not everyone is going to know obviously, only some people in claremont or pomona that goes to styles music knows because buckethead used to live in claremont California. The only reason I knew that is because I'm good friends with the owners and workers there and its not like they tell every customer that walks in the door so that's why people don't know that.
@synysterg I actually really like his V, but Les Pauls are NOT my style. To me, a Les Paul is just a euphemism for "I listen to really crappy music". Look at Metallica, they SUCK, and I think the fact that Kirk and James both occasionally use Les Pauls is part of why. They didn't suck when they both used Vs, or when James started using Explorers. As for Buckethead, I would make an exception, but his minimalist guitar isn't my style. I'd prefer one with a Floyd Rose and fret dots, and NOT a LP.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@synysterg No. They're heavy and awkward. Good guitars are the regular shape of guitar, such as the Jackson Dinky, and then, if you want to go for good looking guitars, The flying V is great in almost all forms. The Les Paul is ugly, doesn't stand out in quality, and is hard to hold due to it's heaviness and awkward shaping.
@Bassbait The les paul is a great guitar with a great history to it! but the downside is it is hard to reach the upper frets due to the single cut away.
@Bassbait i like les puals just fine, i played a lutos from the 70 or 80's shaped like one and its fucking great, i think its thinner though and the body had a bigger radius, the dean ML has a very comfortable shape,the xiphos by ibanez is awesome too but its head stocks heavy
@AndreHatesYou Saying a guitar is too heavy is like saying a car is too small, not too fast. Heavy guitars limit abilities for playing, and are a burden for anybody who actually plans to use them. That said, I would never be jealous of someone with a Les Paul, because Les pauls suck. I would be jealous if someone had Buckethead's V guitar.
@Bassbait The dinky is a smaller cheaper version of the soloist. So... not the actual size and shape of the "real" guitar it was modeled after. And no neck-thru.
@Britton529 I was saying that the regular shape of guitar is the most comfortable. The regular shape with two protrusions around the neck, giving more freedom to the upper frets, and making the strap easier to put on the guitar than a Les Paul.
@Bassbait James & Kirk don't use Les Pauls douche bag, they use ESP Customs. Their guitars have an eclipse body similiar to the les pauls. They're both cut away at the waist and the elbow so thats why they look similiar. P.S Metallica are sick so FUCK YOU!
@bergAgreb so what? I don't think inlays are exactly good looking on a guitar. I prefer not to have inlay, or something special looking. (not indicating what fret)
I don't like the red buttons though:s
But overall this guitar is an amazingy playing guitar. I love using killswitches and i have quite big hands so the extended neck is also a nice touch. plus the chambered body does something special to the sound:D
@progAGguitar okay thats your opinion, but when im playing i like to know in which key im playing.and you have to agree that there are way better guitars for that money, you can easily make a kill switch yourself or your just muting one of the pickups , and then switch around pickups.
lets face it, most of the people buying that guitar just buyed it because of buckethead, but buckethead old guitars were way fuckin better than that piece of shit
the only problem with this this guitar is it has different pickups from the one buckethead uses. buckethead uses the dimarzio super distortion in the bridge, and im not sure what neck pickup he uses. oh, and the fretboard isn't as dark as buckethead's either, so it doesn't look as pretty.
Hello I work for Gibson here in Nashville at the factory , I had no ideal who that guy was, he would not talk and he pick up a guitar back in Final and started playing, now just let me say this we have had allot of guitar players come for a tour famous guy and guys just starting out but MAN!!! That guy in on another level. He was not playing his guitar we had not even start make it then, but he is very good.
compared to what? what other American made signature models are less expensive than this. Not to mention it's a completely custom design. $2,500 is not out of the ordinary for what you are getting here.
yes, that is Manufaturer Suggested Retail Price. Nobody is gonna sell them for that much because they wont sell any. I cant wait till i can afford this guitar.
@DavidRck The person who sold me mine said they were only making about 50, and over 25 of them are being shipped overseas. Idk if this is true or not but thats what he told me.
@NapoleanXV This model is replicated of of the 2009 guitar. He used that guitar in 2006 (white hardware). But gibson only signed with him when he had this guitar.
it's in baritone guitar scale length territory. i doubt the average sized player could hit many chord voicings that are already a stretch on 25.5" scale lengths. It's definately a huge advantage for shredding in the upper registers, but not very versatile unless you're mutant-sized like bigb
@Guitareben made it that length to proportionalise with the larger chambered body. They made the entire guitar larger because buckethead is huge so normal guitars look small in his hands.
@speaker3600 Hi, well just because it's the BH-edition doesn't mean it's exactly the same size as BH's guitar. Also considering BH is 6'6" tall, I am 100% sure he does not have a 1.715" nutwidth on his white Les Paul ... at least 2" if you ask me. Cheers!
@suzuki15 Not exactly. If you have the money (Which few people do..) its actually a great instrument. And its not really overpriced. After all it is a complete replica of Buckethead's guitar, made by Gibson, in the U.S.A.
There are off brand companies such as Agile guitars which have 400 dollars les pauls which are on par or even better than the 1000 dollar + gibsons.
Just because something is made in the USA and has the name Gibson doesn't mean much, you're paying for the name with Gibson.
Gibsons are over priced for many reasons, one of those reasons being you have to buy it from a middle man and have to deal with the mark up. When you buy direct from a company you get a much better discount
dude you can order this guitar off the gibson website it comes with the kill switch and everything i just finished checkin it out to bad i dont got the money right now to get i cus its like 4 thousand something dollars
Sort of. I'd say build one if you have a friend who know how. This guitar though is huge. Its much bigger and heavier than a Les Paul standard. Don't forget Buckethead is nearly 7 feet tall, with insanely large hands. He makes everything look small.
oh really? i didnt know he was that big, his real name is Brian Carrol if u didnt know. Yea, i know the size, but u can replicate the guitar pretty well, with the paint, and the pickups. I know how to build one, just it takes time, painting can take up to 2 weeks, but since this guitar is white, it wont take as long.
@Steelbullets I'm not sure why your comment is so disliked, but I agree with you. You could make a great replica for A LOT less money. Plus you would make it to fit you and it would be more playable. This guitar is what buckethead plays, and that may not be the same feel other people like.
i was going to build this guitar, but i came up with enough money to buy my dream guitar (a Gibson SG) so i bought that instead of creating a replica. But, i do know some1 who did build one from a kit. his channel is newBUCKETHEADcover. if you look him up, he has videos of him playing with his replica guitar.
They have some on ebay. I bought the last 2 of the light red, and I'm not sure when they'll put more up. But check on ebay for: Original Sanwa Button OBSF 30
it's not a hefty price if you consider what it actually is. 1).it's a very limited production guitar (it will likely appreciate in value). 2). it's a completely new model for Gibson from the ground up, you can't tweak your old Gibson and make this. 3). $4,300 is MSRP, it will sell for less than $3,000. 4).They couldn't make an exact replica of his first guitar because the price tag would be around $10k. I ordered one and I couldn't care less that the hardware isn't white.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I can't see spending all but 4K on a guitar that looks (lets be honest here) nothing like the les paul that he plays. The bridge and tailpiece are supposed to be white, the killswitch buttons are supposed to be white, the headstock cover for the neck bolt is supposed to be white, and the tuners are also supposed to be white. To me this thing is garbage compared to the original. Zakk Wylde's signature model is more identical to the real thing than this is. Lower the price tag.
This is modeled after the 2009 model that he plays now. Your thinking of the older les paul he used to use. Yes it is a hefty price, but its an exact replica.

Unless you're a collector there is absolutely no reason to buy this overpriced shi.t that gibson throws out

@suzuki15 Not exactly. If you have the money (Which few people do..) its actually a great instrument. And its not really overpriced. After all it is a complete replica of Buckethead's guitar, made by Gibson, in the U.S.A.

meh you could build the same guitar for 600
suzuki15 2 years ago
True, you can build a very similar guitar, but its not the same. The quality would be worse unless you're a professional.

I must say the arcade button kill switch is fuckin sexy, though i'd rather have it by the pink of my picking hand

@suzuki15 If you can find a Gibson Les Paul for 600$ that's authentically made in the USA, Tell me.

There are off brand companies such as Agile guitars which have 400 dollars les pauls which are on par or even better than the 1000 dollar + gibsons.
Just because something is made in the USA and has the name Gibson doesn't mean much, you're paying for the name with Gibson.
Gibsons are over priced for many reasons, one of those reasons being you have to buy it from a middle man and have to deal with the mark up. When you buy direct from a company you get a much better discount

My playing style is just like Buckethead's. I would kill for one of these or at least something similar. Oh, and I want a killswitch too!

great.. now buckethead is a commercial pussy too.
his old gibson custom with dimarzio humbuckers, are way better than this shit.

hey man, if u want the guitar, buy a LP kit, and build one, much cheaper than buying this guitar, and u can get nearly same quality.
Steelbullets 2 years ago
Sort of. I'd say build one if you have a friend who know how. This guitar though is huge. Its much bigger and heavier than a Les Paul standard. Don't forget Buckethead is nearly 7 feet tall, with insanely large hands. He makes everything look small.

oh really? i didnt know he was that big, his real name is Brian Carrol if u didnt know. Yea, i know the size, but u can replicate the guitar pretty well, with the paint, and the pickups. I know how to build one, just it takes time, painting can take up to 2 weeks, but since this guitar is white, it wont take as long.
Steelbullets 2 years ago
@Steelbullets I'm not sure why your comment is so disliked, but I agree with you. You could make a great replica for A LOT less money. Plus you would make it to fit you and it would be more playable. This guitar is what buckethead plays, and that may not be the same feel other people like.
MetalMonsterGuitar 2 years ago
i was going to build this guitar, but i came up with enough money to buy my dream guitar (a Gibson SG) so i bought that instead of creating a replica. But, i do know some1 who did build one from a kit. his channel is newBUCKETHEADcover. if you look him up, he has videos of him playing with his replica guitar.

Not really. It's just a Les Paul with an oversized body and 27 inch scale length. I've played several 27 inch scale guitars and it's no big deal.
mthwkln 2 years ago
it's not a hefty price if you consider what it actually is. 1).it's a very limited production guitar (it will likely appreciate in value). 2). it's a completely new model for Gibson from the ground up, you can't tweak your old Gibson and make this. 3). $4,300 is MSRP, it will sell for less than $3,000. 4).They couldn't make an exact replica of his first guitar because the price tag would be around $10k. I ordered one and I couldn't care less that the hardware isn't white.

I can't see spending all but 4K on a guitar that looks (lets be honest here) nothing like the les paul that he plays. The bridge and tailpiece are supposed to be white, the killswitch buttons are supposed to be white, the headstock cover for the neck bolt is supposed to be white, and the tuners are also supposed to be white. To me this thing is garbage compared to the original. Zakk Wylde's signature model is more identical to the real thing than this is. Lower the price tag.

This is modeled after the 2009 model that he plays now. Your thinking of the older les paul he used to use. Yes it is a hefty price, but its an exact replica.
